SPICY PAPAYA-CARROT SALSA



Spicy Papaya-Carrot Salsa image

Chayote is a member of the gourd family, along with cucumbers, melons, and squash; it is mild tasting, with a crisp, pearlike texture. It is often used in salads and salsas, or baked and stuffed, like other squash. If you can't find one, you can substitute honeydew melon instead, adding it after the mixture has been cooked and allowed to cool.

Yield makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup water
1 small chayote, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1 or 2 fresh Scotch bonnet chiles, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
Coarse salt
1 large papaya (Mexican or Solo, about 1 pound), peeled, halved lengthwise, seeds removed, and cut into 1/2-inch dice (2 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Bring the water, chayote, and carrots to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add vinegar, chiles, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, until chayote and carrots are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, adding papaya after 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Process one-third of mixture in a food processor; return to saucepan, and stir to combine. Season with more salt, if desired. Salsa can be refrigerated up to 2 weeks in an airtight container; let cool completely before storing. Serve cold, at room temperature, or warm (reheat over medium).

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (1 1/2 inch thick) shell, sirloin, or ribeye steaks
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup dry red wine
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons oregano
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Hot cooked white rice, for serving
3 ripe but firm plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 small bunch cilantro, leaves, only, finely chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the steaks in a single layer in a large glass or ceramic baking dish. Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a bowl and pour over the steaks, making sure both sides are coated. Cover loosely and refrigerate for 12, or preferably 24 hours, turning every 2 or 3 hours.
  • 1 1 /2 hours before serving, make the sauce: combine the tomatoes, vinegar, cilantro, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend for 1 minute, or until smooth and emulsified. Transfer to a glass or ceramic bowl, add the onion and green pepper, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature.
  • Half an hour before serving, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature.
  • When ready to serve, preheat a grill or griddle pan to high heat. Shake the steaks dry and grill them for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until done to your liking. Let the steaks rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 to 7 minutes. Carve the meat across the grain into 1 inch slices and serve with white rice and Molho Campanha.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 top round steaks (each 1/2 inch thick and 4 to 5 ounces)
2 teaspoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower

(makes about 3 cups)

  • Grill steaks 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to four plates. Serve with avocado and salsa.
